BACKGROUND 1. Technical Field

This patent document relates to a semiconductor package, and more particularly, to a semiconductor package in which a plurality of semiconductor chips are vertically stacked.

2. Related Art

Electronic products require the capacity to process large volumes of data as their sizes continue to get smaller. Accordingly, there is a growing need to increase the degree of integration of semiconductor devices used in such electronic products.

Due to the limitations of semiconductor integration technology, however, it is difficult to perform a required function with only a single semiconductor chip, thus semiconductor packages in which a plurality of semiconductor chips are embedded are being manufactured.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale. In some instances, proportions of at least some structures in the drawings may have been exaggerated in order to clearly illustrate certain features of the described embodiments. In presenting a specific example in a drawing or description having two or more layers in a multi-layer structure, the relative positioning relationship of such layers or the sequence of arranging the layers as shown reflects a particular implementation for the described or illustrated example and a different relative positioning relationship or sequence of arranging the layers may be possible. In addition, a described or illustrated example of a multi-layer structure might not reflect all layers present in that particular multilayer structure (e.g., one or more additional layers may be present between two illustrated layers). As a specific example, when a first layer in a described or illustrated multi-layer structure is referred to as being “on” or “over” a second layer or “on” or “over” a substrate, the first layer may be directly formed on the second layer, or the substrate but may also represent a structure where one or more other intermediate layers may exist between the first layer and the second layer or the substrate.

A semiconductor package according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a main semiconductor chip that performs a main function and a sub semiconductor chip that performs various functions required for the operation of the main semiconductor chip. The main semiconductor chip may include nonvolatile memory such as NAND flash memory, and in this case, the sub semiconductor chip may include a memory controller. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and each of the main semiconductor chip and the sub semiconductor chip may include various types of memory, a logic circuit, or the like. In the present embodiment, the sub semiconductor chip may be packaged and implemented as a sub semiconductor package, and the main semiconductor chip may be formed over this sub semiconductor package.

Hereinafter, prior to describing a semiconductor package of the present embodiment, a sub semiconductor package included in the semiconductor package will be described first.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of a sub semiconductor package according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as seen from the top. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along a line A1-A1′ of FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along a line A2-A2′ of FIG. 1. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along a line A3-A3′ of FIG. 1, FIGS. 2 to 4 show a state in which an active surface of a sub semiconductor chip faces upward.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, a sub semiconductor package 110 of the present embodiment may include a sub semiconductor chip 114, a sub molding layer 116, a redistribution structure 118, a sub interconnector 119, and a capacitor 160.

The sub semiconductor chip 114 may have an active surface 114A on which a plurality of sub chip pads 115 are disposed, an inactive surface 114B positioned opposite to the active surface 114A, and side surfaces 114C connecting the active surface 114A and the inactive surface 114B. In the present embodiment, the sub semiconductor chip 114 may have four side surfaces 114C by having a rectangular shape in a plan view. The four side surfaces 114C may be located at both sides in a first direction and at both sides in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, respectively.

The plurality of sub chip pads 115 may be arranged in various forms while having an upper surface exposed from the active surface 114A. As an example, the sub chip pads 115 may be arranged along the entire edge of the sub semiconductor chip 114. That is, the sub chip pads 115 may be disposed at both side edges of the sub semiconductor chip 114 in the first direction and at both side edges of the sub semiconductor chip 114 in the second direction. In this case, a large number of sub chip pads 115 may be formed in the sub semiconductor chip 114 having a relatively small plane area, and thus, a large number of input/output signals may be transmitted through the sub semiconductor chip 114.

The sub semiconductor chip 114 may be positioned at a center region of the sub semiconductor package 110. This may be for reducing variations in lengths of a plurality of signal redistribution conductive layers 118B-S to be described later.

The sub molding layer 116 may have one surface 116A TO having substantially the same level as the active surface 114A of the sub semiconductor chip 114 while surrounding the side surfaces 114C of the sub semiconductor chip 114. Therefore, the sub molding layer 116 may expose the active surface 114A of the sub semiconductor chip 114 and the sub chip pads 115. In the present embodiment, the sub molding layer 116 may cover the inactive surface 114B of the sub semiconductor chip 114. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In another embodiment, the sub molding layer 116 may have the other surface 1163 which is positioned opposite to the one surface 116A and has substantially the same level as the inactive surface 114B of the sub semiconductor chip 114. The sub molding layer 116 may include various molding materials such as an epoxy molding compound (EMC).

The redistribution structure 118 may be formed over the active surface 114A of the sub semiconductor chip 114 and the one surface 116A of the sub molding layer 116, The redistribution structure 118 may include redistribution conductive layers 118B which extend onto the one surface 116A of the sub molding layer 116 and are electrically connected to the sub chip pads 115. That is, the sub semiconductor package 110 according to the present embodiment may be a fan-out package.

More specifically, the redistribution structure 118 may include a first redistribution insulating layer 118A, the redistribution conductive layers 118B, and a second redistribution insulating layer 118C.

The first redistribution insulating layer 118A may cover the active surface 114A of the sub semiconductor chip 114 and the one surface 116A of the sub molding layer 116. The first redistribution insulating layer 118A may have openings exposing the sub chip pads 115 and first and second electrodes 162 and 164 of the capacitor 160 to be described later. The redistribution conductive layers 118B may be formed over the first redistribution insulating layer 118A. The redistribution conductive layers 118B may be electrically connected with the sub chip pads 115 and the first and second electrodes 162 and 164 of the capacitor 160 through the openings of the first redistribution insulating layer 118A. The redistribution conductive layers 118B may include a signal redistribution conductive layer 118B-S and a power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P. The second redistribution insulating layer 118C may cover the first redistribution insulating layer 118A and the redistribution conductive layers 118B. The second redistribution insulating layer 118C may have openings exposing an end portion of the signal redistribution conductive layer 118B-S and an end portion of the power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P. The end portion of the signal redistribution conductive layer 118B-S, exposed by the opening of the second redistribution insulating layer 118C, will be referred to as a signal redistribution pad 118BP-S, and the end portion of the power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P, exposed by the opening of the second redistribution insulating layer 118C, will be referred to as a power redistribution pad 118BP-P. The signal redistribution conductive layer 118B-S, the signal redistribution pad 118BP-S, the power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P, and the power redistribution pad 118BP-P will be described in more detail below. The first redistribution insulating layer 118A and/or the second redistribution insulating layer 118C may include an insulating material such as oxide, nitride, or oxynitride. Alternatively, the first redistribution insulating layer 118A and/or the second redistribution insulating layer 118C may include a resin material such as epoxy, polyimide, polybenzoxazole (PBO), benzocyclobuten (BCB), silicone, or acrylate. The redistribution conductive layers 118B may include a metal material such as copper or a copper alloy.

The signal redistribution conductive layer 118B-S may be for signal transmission between the sub semiconductor chip 114 and other components. As an example, the signal redistribution conductive layer 118B-S may be for signal exchange between the sub semiconductor chip 114 and a main semiconductor chip to be described later, or between the sub semiconductor chip 114 and a substrate to be described later. Hereinafter, a signal exchanged between the sub semiconductor chip 114 and the main semiconductor chip will be referred to as an internal signal, and a signal exchanged between the sub semiconductor chip 114 and the substrate will be referred to as an external signal.

A plurality of signal redistribution conductive layers 118B-S may extend toward both side edges of the sub molding layer 116 in the first direction. As an example, the signal redistribution conductive layers 118B-S, which are connected to the sub chip pads 115 disposed at first side edges of the sub semiconductor chip 114 in the first and second directions, may extend to a first side edge of the sub molding layer 116 in the first direction. Also, the signal redistribution conductive layers 118B-S, which are connected to the sub chip pads 115 disposed at second side edges of the sub semiconductor chip 114 in the first and second directions, may extend to a second side edge of the sub molding layer 116 in the first direction. The signal redistribution conductive layers 118B-S, which extend from the both side edges of the sub semiconductor chip 114 in the second direction, may have curved shapes toward the both side edges of the sub molding layer 116 in the first direction. On the other hand, the signal redistribution conductive layers 118B-S, which extend from the both side edges of the sub semiconductor chip 114 in the first direction, might not need to be curved. However, the signal redistribution conductive layers 118B-S extending from the both side edges of the sub semiconductor chip 114 in the first direction may also have curved shapes, in order to have lengths similar to lengths of the signal redistribution conductive layers 118B-S extending from the both side edges of the sub semiconductor chip 114 in the second direction. As a result, the signal redistribution conductive layers 118B-S may have a spiral shape centering on the sub semiconductor chip 114. For example, the signal redistribution conductive layers 118B-S take on a spiral pattern spiraling in on the sub semiconductor chip 114, as illustrated in FIG. 1. Through such a connection scheme, it may be possible to reduce variations in the lengths of the signal redistribution conductive layers 118B-S.

According to the arrangement of the signal redistribution conductive layers 118B-S, the signal redistribution pads 118BP-S may be arranged along the second direction, at each of the both side edges of the sub molding layer 116 in the first direction. For reference, the signal redistribution conductive layer 118B-S may have a line-shaped portion extending from the sub chip pad 115 and having a relatively small width, and a plate-shaped end portion positioned at an end of the line-shaped portion and having a relatively large width. The opening of the second redistribution insulating layer 118C may expose the plate-shaped end portion of the signal redistribution conductive layer 118B-S, and may have a planar area less than or equal to a planar area of the plate-shaped end portion while overlapping the plate-shaped end portion.

The power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P may be for supplying power from a substrate, to be described later, to the sub semiconductor chip 114, Various levels of power voltages or a ground voltage may be supplied to the sub semiconductor chip 114 through the power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P, Hereinafter, the power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P to which the ground voltage is applied will be referred to as a first power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P1, and the power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P to which the power voltage is applied will be referred to as a second power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P2.

A plurality of power redistribution conductive layers 118B-P may be connected to the sub chip pads 115, and may extend onto the one surface 116A of the sub molding layer 116. The power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P may have a shorter length than the signal redistribution conductive layer 118B-S. That is, unlike the signal redistribution conductive layers 118B-S, the power redistribution conductive layers 118B-P might not extend to the edge of the sub molding layer 116. The power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P may be substantially parallel to a part of the adjacent signal redistribution conductive layer 118B-S. This may be to prevent an electrical short between the power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P and the signal redistribution conductive layer 118B-S.

According to the arrangement of the power redistribution conductive layers 118B-P, a plurality of power redistribution pads 118BP-P may be disposed to surround the sub semiconductor chip 114 at predetermined intervals. For reference, the power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P may have a line-shaped portion extending from the sub chip pad 115 and having a relatively small width, and a plate-shaped end portion positioned at an end of the line-shaped portion and having a relatively large width. The opening of the second redistribution insulating layer 118C may expose the plate-shaped end portion of the power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P, and may have a planar area less than or equal to a planar area of the plate-shaped end portion while overlapping the plate-shaped end portion.

The capacitor 160 may be formed to be electrically connected to the power redistribution conductive layers 118B-P in the sub molding layer 116.

The capacitor 160 may include the first electrode 162, the second electrode 164, and a body portion 166 therebetween. The body portion 166 may have various structures as long as it can store electric charges according to voltages applied to the first and second electrodes 162 and 164. As an example, the capacitor 160 may be a multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC), In this case, the body portion 166 may have a structure in which a plurality of ceramic dielectric layers and a plurality of internal electrodes are alternately stacked. The first electrode 162 and the second electrode 164 may include various conductive materials, and may have a pillar shape contacting both side surfaces of the body portion 166, respectively.

The capacitor 160 may be buried together with the sub semiconductor chip 114 in the sub molding layer 116. That is, side and lower surfaces of the capacitor 160 may be surrounded by the sub molding layer 116. On the other hand, an upper surface of the capacitor 160, in particular, upper surfaces of the first and second electrodes 162 and 164 may be positioned at substantially the same height as the one surface 116A of the sub molding layer 116, and thus, at least a portion of each of the upper surfaces of the first and second electrodes 162 and 164 may be exposed by the openings of the first redistribution insulating layer 118A. The upper surface of the first electrode 162 may be connected to the first power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P1, and the upper surface of the second electrode 164 may be connected to the second power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P2, More specifically, the first and second power redistribution conductive layers 118B-P1 and 118B-P2 may be connected to the upper surface of the first electrode 162 and the upper surface of the second electrode 164 through the openings of the first redistribution insulating layer 118A, respectively. On the other hand, the body portion 166 may be insulated from the redistribution conductive layers 118B. For this reason, an opening might not exist in the first redistribution insulating layer 118A at a portion corresponding to the body portion 166. For reference, for convenience of description, in the plan view of FIG. 1, the first electrode 162 of the capacitor 160 is indicated as a non-hatched rectangle, and the second electrode 164 of the capacitor 160 is indicated as a hatched rectangle. However, hatching is only for distinguishing between the first electrode 162 and the second electrode 164. Further, the planar shapes of the first electrode 162 and the second electrode 164 may be variously modified.

As described above, the redistribution conductive layers 118B may also be connected to the sub chip pads 115 through the openings of the first redistribution insulating layer 118A. Accordingly, the upper surface of the first electrode 162 and the upper surface of the second electrode 164 may be positioned at substantially the same height as the upper surface of the sub chip pad 115. The upper surface of the body portion 166 may be positioned at a lower level than the upper surface of the first electrode 162 and/or the second electrode 164, as shown. In this case, the first redistribution insulating layer 118A and a sub molding layer 116 may be interposed between the body portion 166 and the redistribution conductive layer 118B. However, in another embodiment, the upper surface of the body portion 166 may be positioned at substantially the same height as the upper surface of the first electrode 162 and/or the second electrode 164.

The capacitor 160 may be electrically connected to a path for supplying the power voltage and/or the ground voltage to the sub semiconductor chip 114, that is, the power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P, and may serve to prevent power shortage phenomenon that occurs in the operation of the sub semiconductor chip 114. In the present embodiment, each of the first and second electrodes 162 and 164 of the capacitor 160 may be connected to a portion of the power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P between the power redistribution pad 1186P-P and the side surfaces 114C of the sub semiconductor chip 114. In this case, the capacitor 160 may be disposed adjacent to the sub semiconductor chip 114, and thus, it may be possible to immediately compensate for an instantaneous voltage drop that occurs during the operation of the sub semiconductor chip 114. As a result, the power shortage phenomenon may be more effectively prevented.

In the present embodiment, four capacitors 160 facing each of the four side surfaces 114C of the sub semiconductor chip 114 may be disposed. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the number and location of the capacitors 160 may be variously modified.

One or more signal redistribution conductive layers 118B-S may be disposed between the first power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P1 and the second power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P2. In this case, the body portion 166 may overlap with the one or more signal redistribution conductive layers 118B-S disposed between the first power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P1 and the second power redistribution conductive layer 1188-P2.

The sub interconnector 119 may include a signal sub interconnector 119-S which overlaps and connects with the signal redistribution pad 118BP-S, and a power sub interconnector 119-P which overlaps and connects with the power redistribution pad 1188P-P. Because, in a plan view, the positions of the signal redistribution pad 118BP-S and the signal sub interconnector 119-S are substantially the same, and the positions of the power redistribution pad 118BP-P and the power sub interconnector 119-P are substantially the same, the signal redistribution pad 118BP-S and the signal sub interconnector 119-S are shown together in the plan view of FIG. 1, and the power redistribution pad 118BP-P and the power sub interconnector 119-P are shown together in the plan view of FIG. 1, A plurality of signal sub interconnectors 119-S may be arranged along the second direction at each of the both side edges of the sub molding layer 116 in the first direction, A plurality of power sub interconnectors 119-P may be arranged to surround the sub semiconductor chip 114 at predetermined intervals.

The sub interconnector 119 may be connected to the signal redistribution pad 118BP-S or the power redistribution pad 118BP-P through the opening of the second redistribution insulating layer 118C, and may protrude above a surface of the second redistribution insulating layer 118G. The sub interconnector 119 may include a solder ball, a metal bump, or a combination thereof. However, the present embodiment is not limited thereto, and various forms of electrical interconnectors, which protrude above the surface of the second redistribution insulating layer 118C while being connected to the signal redistribution pad 118BP-S or the power redistribution pad 118BP-P, may be used as the sub interconnector 119.

The signal redistribution pad 118BP-S and the signal sub interconnector 119-S may be classified into ones for exchanging the internal signal, described above, and ones for exchanging the external signal, described above. The signal redistribution pad 118BP-S and the signal sub interconnector 119-S for exchanging the internal signal will be referred to as an internal signal redistribution pad 118BP-S1 and an internal signal sub interconnector 119-S1, respectively. Also, the signal redistribution pad 118BP-S and the signal sub interconnector 119-S for exchanging the external signal will be referred to as an external signal redistribution pad 118BP-S2 and an external signal sub interconnector 119-S2, respectively.

For reference, referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the upper surfaces of the first and second electrodes 162 and 164 of the capacitor 160 may be connected to the lower surfaces of the power redistribution conductive layers 118B-P, and the lower surface of the power sub interconnector 119-P may be connected to the upper surface of the power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P, in particular, the power redistribution pad 118BP-P. However, as will be described later, the sub semiconductor package 110 may be mounted over a substrate in a face-down form, and in this case, the positions of the upper and lower surfaces may be inverted. Even in this case, the positions of the capacitor 160 and the power sub interconnector 119-P may be opposite to each other in a vertical direction with the power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P interposed therebetween.

A semiconductor package including the sub semiconductor package 110 described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8 below,

FIG. 5 is a plan view illustrating a semiconductor package according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as seen from the top. FIG. 6 is a plan view illustrating an upper surface of a substrate of the semiconductor package of FIG. 5, FIGS. 7 and 8 are cross-sectional views illustrating the semiconductor package of FIG. 5. In particular, FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view illustrating internal signal exchange between first and second main chip stacks and a sub semiconductor package in FIG. 5, FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view illustrating external signal exchange between the sub semiconductor package and the substrate, power transfer between the first and second main chip stacks and the substrate, and power transfer between the sub semiconductor package and the substrate in FIG. 5. In addition, FIG. 8 also illustrates a capacitor for addressing the power shortage phenomenon that may occur when power is transmitted between the sub semiconductor package and the substrate.

Referring to FIGS. 5 to 8, a semiconductor package according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a substrate 100, a sub semiconductor package 110 which is disposed over the substrate 100, and first and second main chip stacks 120 and 130 which are disposed over the sub semiconductor package 110.

The substrate 100 may be a substrate for a semiconductor package, which has a circuit and/or wiring structure to transfer electrical signals. For example, the substrate 100 may include a printed circuit board (PCB).

The substrate 100 may have an upper surface 100A, a lower surface 100E located opposite to the upper surface 100A, and side surfaces connecting the upper surface 100A and the lower surface 100B.

The sub semiconductor package 110, the first main chip stack 120, and the second main chip stack 130 may be disposed over the upper surface 100A of the substrate 100. In particular, the sub semiconductor package 110 may be mounted over the substrate 100 such that the active surface 114A of the sub semiconductor chip 114 and the one surface 116A of the sub molding layer 116 face the upper surface 100A of the substrate 100, That is, the sub semiconductor package 110 may be mounted over the substrate 100 in a face-down form. Accordingly, in the plan view of FIG. 5, detailed components included in the sub semiconductor package 110 might not be visible except for the other surface 116B of the sub molding layer 116. However, for convenience of description, some components of the sub semiconductor package 110, which are not covered by the first and second main chip stacks 120 and 130, are illustrated by dotted lines in FIG. 5. In addition, for convenience of description, the detailed components of the sub semiconductor package 110 are also illustrated by dotted lines in FIG. 6. For reference, because the sub semiconductor package 110 is mounted over the substrate 100 in a face-down form, left and right positions of the detailed components of the sub semiconductor package 110 of FIGS. 5 and 6 are inverted compared to FIG. 1. External connection terminals 140 for connecting the semiconductor package of the present embodiment to an external component may be disposed over the lower surface 100B of the substrate 100. For reference, an upper surface and a lower surface to be described below are expressions to indicate relative positions of various surfaces of a component, and do not indicate absolute positions. For example, in the case where the semiconductor package is turned upside down unlike the illustration, a surface over which the sub semiconductor package 110 and the first and second main chip stacks 120 and 130 are disposed may be a lower surface of the substrate 100 and a surface over which the external connection terminals 140 are disposed may be an upper surface of the substrate 100.

A sub substrate pad 102S, a first main substrate pad 102M1, and a second main substrate pad 102M2 may be disposed on the upper surface 100A of the substrate 100, The sub substrate pad 102S may be electrically connected to the sub semiconductor package 110, the first main substrate pad 102M1 may be electrically connected to the first main chip stack 120, and the second main substrate pad 102M2 may be electrically connected to the second main chip stack 130. A lower surface substrate pad 104 for connection with the external connection terminal 140 may be disposed on the lower surface 1008 of the substrate 100. For reference, substrate pads may mean electrically conductive elements or terminals which are exposed on the surfaces of the substrate 100 to electrically connect the substrate 100 with other components. These substrate pads may be connected to the circuit and/or wiring structure inside the substrate 100.

The sub substrate pad 102S may overlap and connect with the sub interconnector 119. When the sub interconnector 119 includes a metal bump, the sub substrate pad 102S may include a bump bonding finger.

The sub substrate pad 102S may include a power sub substrate pad 102S-P connected to the power sub interconnector 119-P, and a signal sub substrate pad 102S-S connected to the signal sub interconnector 119-S. Further, the signal sub substrate pad 102S-S may include an internal signal sub substrate pad 102S-S1 connected to the internal signal sub interconnector 119-S1, and an external signal sub substrate pad 102S-S2 connected to the external signal sub interconnector 119-S2. A plurality of power sub substrate pads 102S-P may overlap and connect with the power sub interconnectors 119-P, respectively, and thus the power sub substrate pads 102S-P may be arranged to surround the sub semiconductor chip 114, on the upper surface 100A of the substrate 100. A plurality of signal sub substrate pads 102S-S may overlap and connect with the signal sub interconnectors 119-S, respectively. The signal sub substrate pads 102S-S may be arranged to overlap both of the side edges of the sub molding layer 116 in the first direction, on the upper surface 100A of the substrate 100.

The first main substrate pad 102M1 may be connected to a first main interconnector 127 to be described later, and the second main substrate pad 102M2 may be connected to a second main interconnector 137 to be described later. When the first and second main interconnectors 127 and 137 are bonding wires, the first and second main substrate pads 102M1 and 102M2 may include wire bonding fingers. A plurality of first main substrate pads 102M1 may be arranged along the second direction at a first side edge of the substrate 100 in the first direction. A plurality of second main substrate pads 102M2 may be arranged along the second direction at a second side edge of the substrate 100 in the first direction. The first main substrate pad 102M1 and the second main substrate pad 102M2 may be exposed without being covered by the sub semiconductor package 110. To this end, the sub semiconductor package 110 may have a width smaller than that of the upper surface 100A of the substrate 100 in the first direction, and may be disposed relatively at the center of the substrate 100, Further, the first main substrate pad 102M1 and the second main substrate pad 102M2 may be exposed without being covered by the first and second main chip stacks 120 and 130.

The first main substrate pad 102M1 may include a first signal main substrate pad 102M1-S for exchanging the internal signal between the sub semiconductor package 110 and the first main chip stack 120, and a first power main substrate pad 102M1-P for supplying power to the first main chip stack 120. In this case, the first signal main substrate pad 102M1-S may be electrically connected to the internal signal sub substrate pad 102S-S1 overlapping with the first side edge of the sub molding layer 116, by a connection line CL formed in the substrate 100. The connection line CL may connect the first signal main substrate pad 102M1-S to which the first main chip stack 120 is electrically connected, and the internal signal sub substrate pad 102S-S1 to which the sub semiconductor package 110 is electrically connected, to each other. Therefore, electrical connection between the first main chip stack 120 and the sub semiconductor package 110 may be possible. The connection line CL may be positioned at the same level as the first signal main substrate pad 102M1-S and the internal signal sub substrate pad 102S-S1 in a cross-sectional view. Also, the connection line CL may have a linear shape so as to have the shortest distance between the first signal main substrate pad 102M1-S and the internal signal sub substrate pad 102S-S1 in a plan view. This may be to form an internal signal transmission path between the first signal main substrate pad 102M1-S and the internal signal sub substrate pad 102S-S1 with the shortest distance. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and as long as the first signal main substrate pad 102M1-S and the internal signal sub substrate pad 102S-S1 are connected to each other in the substrate 100, the position and shape of the connection line CL may be variously modified.

The second main substrate pad 102M2 may include a second signal main substrate pad 102M2-S for exchanging the internal signal between the sub semiconductor package 110 and the second main chip stack 130, and a second power main substrate pad 102M2-P for supplying power to the second main chip stack 130. In this case, the second signal main substrate pad 102M2-S may be electrically connected to the internal signal sub substrate pad 102S-S1 overlapping with the second side edge of the sub molding layer 116, by the connection line CL formed in the substrate 100. The connection line CL may connect the second signal main substrate pad 102M2-S to which the second main chip stack 130 is electrically connected, and the internal signal sub substrate pad 102S-S1 to which the sub semiconductor package 110 is electrically connected, to each other. Therefore, electrical connection between the second main chip stack 130 and the sub semiconductor package 110 may be possible. The connection line CL may be positioned at the same level as the second signal main substrate pad 102M2-S and the internal signal sub substrate pad 102S-S1 in a cross-sectional view. Also, the connection line CL may have a linear shape so as to have the shortest distance between the second signal main substrate pad 102M2-S and the internal signal sub substrate pad 102S-S1 in a plan view. This may be to form an internal signal transmission path between the second signal main substrate pad 102M2-S and the internal signal sub substrate pad 102S-S1 with the shortest distance. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and as long as the second signal main substrate pad 102M2-S and the internal signal sub substrate pad 102S-S1 are connected to each other in the substrate 100, the position and shape of the connection line CL may be variously modified.

The lower surface substrate pad 104 may be connected to the external connection terminal 140. When the external connection terminal 140 includes a solder ball, the lower surface substrate pad 104 may include a ball land.

Because the detailed configuration of the sub semiconductor package 110 has already been described, detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted. The sub semiconductor package 110 may be electrically connected to the substrate 100 through the sub interconnector 119.

In particular, referring to FIGS. 6 and 8, the power sub interconnector 119-P may be connected to the power sub substrate pad 102S-P. Accordingly, an electrical path passing through the sub semiconductor chip 114, the power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P, the power sub interconnector 119-P, and the power sub substrate pad 102S-P, that is, a power supply path, may be formed. In this case, because the power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P connected to the power sub interconnector 119-P has a relatively shorter length than that of the signal redistribution conductive layer 118B-S, the length of the power supply path may be reduced. Further, by forming the capacitor 160, which includes the first and second electrodes 162 and 164 connected to the first and second power redistribution conductive layers 118B-P1 and 118B-P2, respectively, and the body portion 166 between the first and second electrode 162 and 164, in the sub molding layer 116, power may be more stably supplied to the sub semiconductor chip 114, Although not shown, the power sub substrate pad 102S-P may be electrically connected to the external connection terminal 140 through the circuit and/or wiring structure inside the substrate 100, thereby being connected with an external component (not shown) and being supplied with power from the external component.

Also, referring to FIGS. 6 and 8, the external signal sub interconnector 119-S2 may be connected to the external signal sub substrate pad 102S-S2. Accordingly, an electrical path passing through the sub semiconductor chip 114, the signal redistribution conductive layer 118S-S, the external signal sub interconnector 119-S2, and the external signal sub substrate pad 102S-S2, that is, an external signal transmission path, may be formed. Although not shown, the external signal sub substrate pad 102S-S2 may be electrically connected to the external connection terminal 140 through the circuit and/or wiring structure inside the substrate 100, thereby being connected with an external component (not shown) and exchanging a signal with the external component.

Further, referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the internal signal sub interconnector 119-S1 may be connected to the internal signal sub substrate pad 102S-S1. As will be described later, the internal signal sub substrate pad 102S-S1 may be connected to the first signal main substrate pad 102M1-S and the second signal main substrate pad 102M2-S through the connection line CL. Therefore, electrical connection between each of the first and second main chip stacks 120 and 130 and the sub semiconductor chip 114 may be possible. This will be described together with describing the first and second main chip stacks 120 and 130. The power supply path passing through the power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P, the power sub interconnector 119-P, and the power sub substrate pad 102S-P of the substrate 100 may be shorter than the signal transmission path passing through the signal redistribution conductive layer 118B-S, the signal sub interconnector 119-S, and the signal sub substrate pad 102S-S of the substrate 100. The capacitor 160 may be electrically connected to this power supply path.

The first main chip stack 120 may include a plurality of first main semiconductor chips 124. The first main semiconductor chips 124 may be formed over the sub semiconductor package 110, and may be stacked in a vertical direction with respect to the upper surface 100A of the substrate 100. While the present embodiment illustrates a case where the first main chip stack 120 includes four first main semiconductor chips 124, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the number of first main semiconductor chips 124 included in the first main chip stack 120 may be variously modified to one or more first main semiconductor chips 124.

The first main semiconductor chips 124 may be stacked with a predetermined offset in a direction toward the second side in the first direction, for example, in a direction toward the lower side in FIG. 5 and the right side in FIGS. 7 and 8. Therefore, the first main chip stack 120 which has a step shape when viewed in its entirety may be formed. The offset stacking direction of the first main semiconductor chips 124 will be referred to as a first offset direction. According to such offset stacking, a first side edge of an upper surface of each of the remaining first main semiconductor chips 124, except for the uppermost first main semiconductor chip 124, among the first main semiconductor chips 124, may be exposed without being covered by the first main semiconductor chip 124 lying immediately thereon. For example, the upper side edge of the upper surface of each of the remaining first main semiconductor chips 124 in FIG. 5 and the left side edge of the upper surface of each of the remaining first main semiconductor chips 124 in FIGS. 7 and 8 may be exposed. A first side edge of an upper surface of the uppermost first main semiconductor chip 124 may be exposed without being covered by the lowermost second main semiconductor chip 134 of the second main chip stack 130 which will be described later. First chip pads 125 may be disposed on such exposed portions of the first main semiconductor chips 124. A plurality of first chip pads 125 may be arranged in a line along the second direction at the first side edge of the upper surface of each of the first main semiconductor chips 124. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the number and arrangement of the first chip pads 125 at the first side edge of the upper surface of each of the first main semiconductor chips 124 may be variously modified. For reference, because a part of the first main chip stack 120 which is hidden by the second main chip stack 130 is not illustrated in the plan view of FIG. 1, a remaining part of the first main chip stack 120, for example, the first side edge of the lowermost first main semiconductor chip 124, is illustrated.

Each of the first main semiconductor chips 124 may be attached to the sub semiconductor package 110 or the first main semiconductor chip 124 lying immediately thereunder, by a first adhesive layer 122. The first adhesive layer 122 may be formed on the lower surface of each of the first main semiconductor chips 124 to have a shape overlapping with the lower surface.

The first main chip stack 120 or the first main semiconductor chips 124 may have a planar area smaller than the sub semiconductor package 110, and may have a planar area larger than the sub semiconductor chip 114. The first main chip stack 120 may be disposed to expose at least the first and second main substrate pads 102M1 and 102M2 disposed at the both side edges of the substrate 100 in the first direction.

The first main chip stack 120 may be connected to the substrate 100 and the sub semiconductor package 110 through first main interconnectors 127. In the present embodiment, the first main chip stack 120 may be electrically connected to the substrate 100 to receive power used for the operations of the first main chip stack 120 from the substrate 100. Also, the first main chip stack 120 may be electrically connected to the sub semiconductor package 110 to exchange the internet signal with the sub semiconductor chip 114. An interconnector among the first main interconnectors 127, which connects the first main chip stack 120 and the substrate 100, be referred to as a first power main interconnector 127P. Also, an interconnector among the first main interconnectors 127, which connects the first main chip stack 120 and the sub semiconductor package 110, will be referred to as a first signal main interconnector 127S.

In particular, referring to FIGS. 5 and 7, the first signal main interconnector 127S may connect the adjacent first chip pads 125 to each other in the vertical direction, and may connect the first chip pad 125 of the lowermost first main semiconductor chip 124 and the first signal main substrate pad 102M1-2. Accordingly, the first main semiconductor chips 124 may be electrically connected to each other, and the first main chip stack 120 may be electrically connected to the sub semiconductor package 110 through the substrate 100. More specifically, an electrical path passing through the first main chip stack 120, the first signal main interconnector 127S, the first signal main substrate pad 102M1-S, the connection line CL, the internal signal sub substrate pad 102S-S1, the internet signal sub interconnector 119-S1, the signal redistribution conductive layer 118B-S, and the sub semiconductor chip 114, that is, a signal transmission path, may be formed.

In addition, particularly, referring to FIGS. 5 and 8, the first main power interconnector 127P may connect adjacent first chip pads 125 to each other in the vertical direction, and may connect the first chip pad 125 of the lowermost first main semiconductor chip 124 and the first power main substrate pad 102M1-P of the substrate 100. Accordingly, the first main semiconductor chips 124 may be electrically connected to each other, and the first main chip stack 120 may be electrically connected to the substrate 100. More specifically, an electrical path passing through the first main chip stack 120, the first power main interconnector 127P, and the first power main substrate pad 102M1-P, that is, a power supply path, may be formed

The first main interconnector 127 may be a bonding wire. However, the present embodiment is not limited thereto, and various types of electrical interconnectors may be used as the first main interconnector 127.

The second main chip stack 130 may include a plurality of second main semiconductor chips 134, The second main semiconductor chips 134 may be formed over the first main chip stack 120, and may be stacked in the vertical direction. While the present embodiment illustrates a case where the second main chip stack 130 includes four second main semiconductor chips 134, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the number of second main semiconductor chips 134 included in the second main chip stack 130 may be variously modified to one or more second main semiconductor chips 134. Also, while, in the present embodiment, the number of second main semiconductor chips 134 included in the second main chip stack 130 is the same as the number of first main semiconductor chips 124 included in the first main chip stack 120, at is to be noted that these numbers may be different from each other.

The second main semiconductor chips 134 may be stacked with a predetermined offset in a direction toward the first side in the first direction, for example, in a direction toward the upper side in FIG. 5 and the left side in FIGS. 7 and 8. Therefore, the second main chip stack 130 which has a step shape when viewed in its entirety may be formed. The offset stacking direction of the second main semiconductor chips 134 will be referred to as a second offset direction. The second offset direction may be opposite to the first offset direction. According to such offset stacking, a second side edge of an upper surface of each of the remaining second main semiconductor chips 134, except the uppermost second main semiconductor chip 134, among the second main semiconductor chips 134, may be exposed without being covered by the second main semiconductor chip 134 lying immediately thereon. For example, a lower side edge of the upper surface of each of the remaining second main semiconductor chips 134 in FIG. 5 and the right side edge of the upper surface of each of the remaining second main semiconductor chips 134 in FIGS. 7 and 8 may be exposed. The uppermost second main semiconductor chip 134 may be in a state in which its entire upper surface is exposed. Second chip pads 135 may be disposed on the exposed portions of the remaining second main semiconductor chips 134 except the uppermost second main semiconductor chip 134, and second chip pads 135 of the uppermost second main semiconductor chip 134 may also be disposed at the same positions as the second chip pads 135 of the remaining second main semiconductor chips 134. A plurality of second chip pads 135 may be arranged in a line along the second direction at the second side edge of the upper surface of each of the second main semiconductor chips 134. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the number and arrangement of the second chip pads 135 at the second side edge of the upper surface of each of the second main semiconductor chips 134 may be variously modified.

In the case where the second main semiconductor chips 134 are the same semiconductor chips as the first main semiconductor chips 124, each second main semiconductor chip 134 may correspond to a state in which each first main semiconductor chip 124 is rotated by 180 degrees about an axis extending in the vertical direction.

Each of the second main semiconductor chips 134 may be attached to the second main semiconductor chip 134 lying immediately thereunder or the uppermost first main semiconductor chip 124 of the first main chip stack 120, by a second adhesive layer 132. The second adhesive layer 132 may be formed on the lower surface of each of the second main semiconductor chips 134 to have a shape overlapping with the lower surface.

The second main chip stack 130 or the second main semiconductor chips 134 may have a planar area smaller than the sub semiconductor package 110, and may have a planar area larger than the sub semiconductor chip 114. The second main chip stack 130 may be disposed to expose at least the first and second main substrate pads 102M1 and 102M2 disposed at the both side edges of the substrate 100 in the first direction.

The second main chip stack 130 may be connected to the substrate 100 and the sub semiconductor package 110 through second main interconnectors 137, In the present embodiment, the second main chip stack 130 may be electrically connected to the substrate 100 to receive power used for the operations of the second main chip stack 130 from the substrate 100, Also, the second main chip stack 130 may be electrically connected to the sub semiconductor package 110 to exchange the internal signal with the sub semiconductor chip 114, An interconnector among the second main interconnectors 137, which connects the second main chip stack 130 and the substrate 100, will be referred to as a second power main interconnector 137P. Also, an interconnector among the second main interconnectors 137, which connects the second main chip stack 130 and the sub semiconductor package 110, will be referred to as a second signal main interconnector 137S.

In particular, referring to FIGS. 5 and 7, the second signal main interconnector 137S may connect the adjacent second chip pads 135 to each other in the vertical direction, and may connect the second chip pad 135 of the lowermost second main semiconductor chip 134 and the second signal main substrate pad 102M2-2. Accordingly, the second main semiconductor chips 134 may be electrically connected to each other, and the second main chip stack 130 may be electrically connected to the sub semiconductor package 110 through the substrate 100. More specifically an electrical path passing through the second main chip stack 130, the second signal main interconnector 137S, the second signal main substrate pad 102M2-S, the connection line CL, the internal signal sub substrate pad 102S-S1, the internal signal sub interconnector 119-S1, the signal redistribution conductive layer 118B-S, and the sub semiconductor chip 114, that is, a signal transmission path, may be formed.

In addition, particularly, referring to FIGS. 5 and 8, the second power main interconnector 137P may connect adjacent second chip pads 135 to each other in the vertical direction, and may connect the second chip pad 135 of the lowermost second main semiconductor chip 134 and the second power main substrate pad 102M2-P of the substrate 100. Accordingly, the second main semiconductor chips 134 may be electrically connected to each other, and the second main chip stack 130 may be electrically connected to the substrate 100. More specifically, an electrical path passing through the second main chip stack 130, the second power main interconnector 137P, and the second power main substrate pad 102M2-P, that is, a power supply path, may be formed.

The second main interconnector 137 may be a bonding wire. However, the present embodiment is not limited thereto, and various types of electrical interconnectors may be used as the second main interconnector 137.

For reference, in the plan views of FIGS. 5 and 6, the first main interconnector 127 and the second main interconnector 137 are illustrated by different dotted lines for convenience of description. However, it is to be noted that, as a matter of course, such dotted lines do not reflect the actual shapes of the first and second main interconnectors 127 and 137.

The sub semiconductor package 110, the first main chip stack 120, and the second main chip stack 130 may be covered by a molding layer 150 which is formed over the substrate 100. The molding layer 150 may include various molding materials such as an EMC.

The external connection terminals 140 described above may include solder balls. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and various conductive terminals such as bumps may be used as the external connection terminals 140.

In the semiconductor package of the present embodiment, the first main chip stack 120 may be recognized as a single semiconductor chip group while being connected with the substrate 100 and the sub semiconductor package 110 through the first main interconnectors 127, Also, the second main chip stack 130 may be recognized as another single semiconductor chip group different from the first main chip stack 120 while being connected with the substrate 100 and the sub semiconductor package 110 through the second main interconnectors 137, The sub semiconductor chip 114 may be connected to the substrate 100 through the redistribution structure 118 and the sub interconnector 119.

According to the semiconductor package described above, the following advantages may be obtained.

First, as the sub chip pads 115 are disposed along the entire edges of the sub semiconductor chip 114, a relatively large number of sub chip pads 115 may be disposed as compared to the size of the sub semiconductor chip 114. In addition, by redistributing the sub chip pads 115 using a fan-out technology, the disposition of the sub chip pads 115 may be facilitated.

Furthermore, because some of the sub chip pads 115 are redistributed to the internal signal redistribution pads 118BP-S1 using the fan-out technology, and the internal signal redistribution pads 118BP-S1 are connected to the first and second signal main substrate pads 102M1-S and 102M2-S through the internal signal sub interconnector 119-S1, the internal signal sub substrate pad 102S-S1, and the connection line CL inside the substrate 100, a signal transmission distance between the sub semiconductor chip 114 and the first and second main chip stacks 120 and 130 may be reduced.

Furthermore, because the sub semiconductor package 110 larger than the first and second main chip stacks 120 and 130 is disposed under the first and second main chip stacks 120 and 130 by using the fan-out technology, the first and second main chip stacks 120 and 130 may be stably formed. In a structure in which the first and second main chip stacks 120 and 130 are formed over the sub semiconductor chip 114, if the sub semiconductor chip 114 is smaller than the first and second main semiconductor chips 124 and 134, a problem may be caused in that the first and second main chip stacks 120 and 130 are inclined. By substantially increasing the area of the sub semiconductor chip 114 using the fan-out technology, such a problem may be avoided.

Furthermore, by adjusting the shapes and/or arrangements of the signal redistribution conductive layers 118B-S to cause the signal redistribution conductive layers 118B-S to have similar lengths, the operation characteristics of the semiconductor package may be secured. For example, when a first channel which is connected from the first main chip stack 120 to the sub semiconductor package 110 and a second channel which is connected from the second main chip stack 130 to the sub semiconductor package 110 exist, a path of the first channel and a path of the second channel may have similar lengths. Therefore, it may be possible to maximally prevent the transfer rates of signals from becoming different from channel to channel.

Furthermore, because the length of the power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P is shorter than the length of the signal redistribution conductive layer 118B-S, and the power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P and the substrate 100 are connected through the power sub interconnector 119, it may be possible to easily supply power to the sub semiconductor chip 114. In this case, the length of the power supply path from the substrate 100 to the sub semiconductor chip 114 may be shortened, and thus, the impedance of the power supply path may decrease. This will be further described with reference to FIGS. 9A and 93 below.

Furthermore, by disposing the capacitor 160 connected to the power redistribution conductive layer 1183-P in the sub semiconductor package 110, it may be possible to smoothly supply power. In particular, compared to a case where a capacitor is disposed around the sub semiconductor package 110, an alternating current (AC) path through the capacitor 160 is shortened, thereby further reducing the impedance of the power supply path. This will be further described with reference to FIGS. 10A and 103 below.

FIG. 9A is a view for describing an example of an effect of a semiconductor package according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 93 is a view for describing an effect of a semiconductor package according to a comparative example. FIG. 93 illustrates a case in which a power redistribution conductive layer extends to an edge of a sub molding layer similar to a signal redistribution conductive layer, and an end portion of the power redistribution conductive layer is connected to a substrate through a power sub interconnector, unlike the present embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 9A, a relatively short current path (see dotted arrow), passing through the power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P which has a short length, the power sub interconnector 119-P disposed under and connected to the power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P, the substrate 100, and the external connection terminal 140 for supplying power, may be formed.

On the other hand, referring to FIG. 9B, a relatively long current path (see dotted arrow), passing through a power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P′ which has a long length, a power sub interconnector 119-P′ disposed under and connected to the power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P′, a substrate 100′, and an external connection terminal 140′ for supplying power, may be formed.

In other words, in the comparative example of FIG. 8B, regardless of the location of the external connection terminal 140′ for supplying power to the substrate 100′, a power supply path passing through the power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P′ having a long length to extend to an edge of a sub molding layer may be formed, and thus, a relatively long power supply path may be inevitable compared to the embodiment of FIG. 9A.

As a result, according to the present embodiment as shown in FIG. 9A, a short current path may be formed, and thus, the impedance of the power supply path may be reduced. Therefore, supplying power may be facilitated.

FIG. 10A is a view illustrating another example of an effect of a semiconductor package according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 10B is a view illustrating another example of an effect of a semiconductor package of a comparative example. FIG. 10B illustrates a case in which a power redistribution conductive layer extends to an edge of a sub molding layer similar to a signal redistribution conductive layer, and a capacitor is separately disposed outside a sub semiconductor package, unlike the present embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 10A, because the capacitor 160 is connected to a portion of each of the first and second power redistribution conductive layers 118B-P1 and 118B-P2 which have short lengths, a short AC current path (refer to dotted arrow) passing through a portion of the second power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P2, the capacitor 160, and a portion of the first power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P1, may be formed.

On the other hand, referring to FIG. 10B, a long AC current path (refer to dotted arrow) passing through a whole of a second power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P2′, a power sub interconnector 119-P′ disposed under the second power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P2′ and connected to an end portion of the second power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P2′, a substrate 100′, an external connection terminal 140′ for supplying a power voltage, the substrate 100′, a capacitor 160′, the substrate 100′, the external connection terminal 140′ for supplying a ground voltage, the substrate 100′, the power sub interconnector 119-P′ disposed under a first power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P1′ and connected to an end portion of the first power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P1′, and a whole of the first power redistribution conductive layer 118B-P1′, may be formed.

As a result, in the case of the present embodiment as shown in FIG. 10A, because it is possible to form a short AC current path through the capacitor 160, the impedance of the power supply path may be reduced, and thus, supplying power may be more easily and stably performed.

Meanwhile, in the above-described embodiment, a case where a power redistribution conductive layer is shorter than a signal redistribution conductive layer has been described. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and a power redistribution conductive layer may have a length the same as or similar to a length of a signal redistribution conductive layer. In this case, by using a power sub interconnector that is connected to a certain point of the power redistribution conductive layer, a power supply path to a sub semiconductor chip may be shortened. This will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 15.

FIG. 12 shows a state in which an active surface of a sub semiconductor chip faces upward.

FIG. 14 is a plan view illustrating an upper surface of a substrate of the semiconductor package of FIG. 13. FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the semiconductor package of FIG. 13. In particular, a sub semiconductor package of FIG. 15 shows a cross-section along a line A5-A5′ of FIG. 14, and the remaining portion of FIG. 15 are used to describe power transfer between first and second main chip stacks and the substrate. Detailed descriptions of parts that are substantially the same as those of the above-described embodiment will be omitted.

First, referring to FIGS. 11 and 12, a sub semiconductor package 310 of the present embodiment may include a sub semiconductor chip 314, a sub molding layer 316, a redistribution structure 318, a sub interconnector 319, and a capacitor 360.

The sub semiconductor chip 314 may have an active surface 314A on which a plurality of sub chip pads 315 are disposed, an inactive surface 314B positioned opposite to the active surface 314A, and side surfaces 314C connecting the active surface 314A and the inactive surface 314B, The plurality of sub chip pads 315 may be arranged along the entire edge of the sub semiconductor chip 314.

The sub molding layer 316 may have one surface 316A having substantially the same level as the active surface 314A of the sub semiconductor chip 314 while surrounding the side surfaces 314C of the sub semiconductor chip 314, Therefore, the sub molding layer 316 may expose the active surface 314A of the sub semiconductor chip 314 and the sub chip pads 315, The other surface 3168 of the sub molding layer 316 may be located opposite to the one surface 316A.

The redistribution structure 318 may be formed over the active surface 314A of the sub semiconductor chip 314 and the one surface 316A of the sub molding layer 316. The redistribution structure 318 may include a first redistribution insulating layer 318A, redistribution conductive layers 318B, and a second redistribution insulating layer 318C. The redistribution conductive layers 318 may extend onto the one surface 316A of the sub molding layer 316 while electrically connected to the sub chip pads 315, and first and second electrodes 362 and 364 of the capacitor 360.

The redistribution conductive layers 3188 may include a signal redistribution conductive layer 318B-S and a power redistribution conductive layer 318B-P. In the present embodiment, all of the redistribution conductive layers 318B may extend towards both side edges of the sub molding layer 316 in the first direction, regardless of the signal redistribution conductive layer 318B-S and the power redistribution conductive layer 318B-P, As an example, the signal redistribution conductive layer 318B-S and the power redistribution conductive layer 318B-P, which are connected to the sub chip pads 315 disposed at first side edges of the sub semiconductor chip 314 in the first and second directions, may extend toward a first side edge of the sub molding layer 316 in the first direction. In addition, the signal redistribution conductive layer 318B-S and the power redistribution conductive layer 318B-P, which are connected to the sub chip pads 315 disposed at second side edges of the sub semiconductor chip 314 in the first and second directions, may extend toward a second side edge of the sub molding layer 316 in the first direction. As a result, the redistribution conductive layers 318B may have a spiral shape centering on the sub semiconductor chip 314. Through this connection method, variations in the lengths of the redistribution conductive layers 318B may be reduced.

According to the arrangement of the signal redistribution conductive layer 318B-S and the power redistribution conductive layer 318B-P as above, end portions of the signal redistribution conductive layer 318B-S and the power redistribution conductive layer 318B-P may be arranged along the second direction at each of the both side edges of the sub molding layer 316 in the first direction. The end portion of the signal redistribution conductive layer 318B-S may be exposed by an opening of the second redistribution insulating layer 318C to from a signal redistribution pad 318BP-S, The signal redistribution pad 318BP-S may include an internal signal redistribution pad 318BP-S1 and an external signal redistribution pad 318BP-S2. On the other hand, the end portion of the power redistribution conductive layer 318B-P may be exposed by the opening of the second redistribution insulating layer 318C, and further a predetermined portion of the power redistribution conductive layer 319B-P, which is positioned between the sub semiconductor chip 314 and the end portion, may be exposed by the opening of the second redistribution insulating layer 318C. The end portion of the power redistribution conductive layer 318B-P exposed by the second redistribution insulating layer 318C will be referred to as a second power redistribution pad 318BP-P2, and the predetermined portion of the power redistribution conductive layer 318B-P exposed by the second redistribution insulating layer 318C will be referred to as a first power redistribution pad 318BP-P1. That is, the first power redistribution pad 318BP-P1 may be disposed closer to the sub semiconductor chip 314 than the second power redistribution pad 318BP-P2. The first and second power redistribution pads 318BP-P1 and 318BP-P2 will be referred to as a power redistribution pad 318BP-P.

The capacitor 360 may be formed to be electrically connected to the power redistribution conductive layer 318B-P within the sub molding layer 316. The capacitor 360 may include the first electrode 362, the second electrode 364, and a body portion (not shown) therebetween. The first electrode 362 of the capacitor 360 may be connected to a first power redistribution conductive layer 318B-P1 among the power redistribution conductive layers 318B-P, to which a ground voltage is applied, and the second electrode 364 of the capacitor 360 may be connected to a second power redistribution conductive layer 318B-P2 among the power redistribution conductive layers 318B-P, to which a power voltage is applied. In the present embodiment, each of the first and second electrodes 362 and 364 of the capacitor 360 may connect with a portion of the power redistribution conductive layer 318B-P between the first power redistribution pad 318BP-P1 and the side surfaces 314C of the sub semiconductor chip 314. In this case, the capacitor 360 may be disposed adjacent to the sub semiconductor chip 314, and thus, power shortage phenomenon may be more effectively prevented. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the location of the capacitor 360 may be variously modified as long as the capacitor 360 is connected to a portion of the power redistribution conductive layer 318B-P. For example, the capacitor 360 may be connected to a portion of the power redistribution conductive layer 318B-P between the first power redistribution pad 318BP-P1 and the second power redistribution pad 318BP-P2.

The sub interconnector 319 may include a signal sub interconnector 319-S which overlaps and connects with the signal redistribution pad 318BP-S, and a power sub interconnector 319-P which overlaps and connects with the power redistribution pad 318BP-P.

In this case, the first signal main substrate pad 302M1-S may be electrically connected to the internal signal sub substrate pad 302S-S1 by a connection line CL formed in the substrate 300.

In this case, the first power sub interconnector 319-P1 may enable formation of a short power supply path. Furthermore, the first and second power sub interconnectors 319-P1 and 319-P2 may enable formation of multiple power supply paths. Furthermore, by forming the capacitor 360 which includes the first and second electrodes 362 and 364 connected to the first and second power redistribution conductive layers 318B-P1 and 318B-P2, and a body portion (not shown) between the first and second electrodes 362 and 364, in the sub molding layer 316, power supply to the sub semiconductor chip 314 may be more stably performed, Although not shown, the first and second power sub substrate pads 302S-P1 and 302S-P2 may be electrically connected to the external connection terminal 340 through a circuit and/or wiring structure inside the substrate 300, thereby being connected with an external component (not shown) and being supplied with power from the external component.
